Tühe Temple
Liman Cd, 07330 Side/Antalya, Turkey
Description:
The temple of Tyuhe is located in Side on the territory of the agora - the commercial square. Tyukhe is the goddess of luck and the guardian spirit of the city.
The temple at Side is a pyramid with twelve sides and a dome. On the vault were once depicted signs of the zodiac.
The mandatory attributes of Tyuhe are a crown (often stylized as a city wall), a cornucopia filled with fruits, and a child. The community of attributes sometimes evokes associations with the cult of Demeter, the goddess of fertility. However, the personification of the deity is closer to the image of Fortune.
Today, the temple of Tyuhe in Side belongs to the "field of ruins" and is open to visit along with other architectural monuments of the architectural complex of the agora.
